(Bonus Chapter 1)
Zhang Cuihua looked unwell and was in a bad mood, so she ignored Lu Rou and just continued with her work.
Lu Rou seemed to know that Zhang Cuihua was not in a good mood, so after greeting her, she quietly went over to help prepare the meal.
Seeing her movement out of the corner of her eye, Zhang Cuihua quickly stopped her.
"Hey, no, no, I can do it myself. You go back to your room and rest."
After saying that, he stopped looking at Lu Rou and got busy with his own things.
It wasn't that she didn't want Lu Rou's help, but she felt that out of sight, out of mind. At least for now, she didn't want to see any of the eight people, including Lu Rou and Liu Yansong.
She didn't know what she was angry about. She seemed angry that Lu Rou had asked for her job, angry that Liu Yansong wouldn't give her money to buy food, and angry that the two of them had done nothing all afternoon but slept soundly at home...
But after she sent Lu Rou back, she felt increasingly angry while working alone, and started throwing and thrashing things around.
The commotion was quite loud, and Lu Rou, who was in the inner room, noticed it. Annoyed, she woke up Liu Yansong, who was snoring on the bed.
"What's wrong now?"
Liu Yansong made no attempt to hide his annoyance, and Lu Rou, equally displeased, pointed outside at him with a disgruntled expression.
“Your mother is back. I tried to help but she wouldn’t let me, but she’s currently in the kitchen making a mess. I don’t know what to do. You’ll have to take a look yourself.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Yansong, who had been half-supported, lay back down, saying indifferently.
"That's just her temper, I can't be bothered with her. She'll be fine in a bit, you can go do whatever you want."
Lu Rou was speechless for a moment, and sulked for a while before sitting down in the room and ignoring it.
Zhang Cuihua waited for a long time but the couple didn't come out. Frustrated, she started throwing and hitting them even more violently. Liu Dafu happened to see this when he returned, which immediately made him frown.
"What are you doing? If you break it, don't you just buy a new one?"
Zhang Cuihua was engrossed in her work when Liu Dafu suddenly spoke up, startling her so much that she dropped the cleaver and nearly chopped her own foot.
"Hey, what are you doing? You scared me!"
In her haste, she didn't control her tone properly, and to Liu Dafu it sounded like she was yelling at him.
"What am I doing?! Why don't you ask yourself what you're doing? What did I do to you? You're just throwing things around in the kitchen, what kind of mess do you have to make of this house before you'll behave?"
Zhang Cuihua was already angry and almost jumped up.
"I'm restless? How am I restless? What have I done to cause unrest in this family? I've devoted my whole life to this family, how can you say such things to me?!"
As Zhang Cuihua thought about all the sacrifices she had made over the years, she felt increasingly aggrieved.
"Liu Dafu, put your hand on your heart and think carefully, how have I wronged your family?"
I take care of the elderly and the young every day, and I still have to go to work. I wish I could squeeze every last drop of time into eight pieces, and not only do I not get a single kind word from you, but you also blame me for ruining this family. You really have no conscience!
As she spoke, she began to sob uncontrollably, unable to continue, and simply sat down on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
Liu Dafu thought she was just throwing a tantrum. He glanced at her, snorted coldly, and turned back into the house.
